Chapter 8: First Fight

Kendall, James, and Carlos were driving up to the barn. That was where they knew Logan and the girls would be. It was late and they had agreed to meet here after the big game. The guys had to tell the others how they had done at state.

Kendall honked the horn as they reached the barn. Logan, Camille, and Katie exited the barn as James and Carlos jumped out of the truck. Kendall shut the engine off as Carlos grabbed the big first place trophy from the truck bed.

"We won," Carlos hollered. He brought the trophy up to the front of the truck to show the others. Kendall and James joined him.

"I told you, you guys would win," Katie said smiling accepting her brother's hug. Logan moved to hug James and tell him he was proud of him. James shrugged him off grabbing his arms and stopping him.

"Watch the hair," James said. Logan closed his mouth, his smile gone and nodded his head slowly.

Kendall looked over at James. He really hated how James treated Logan. He didn't understand why Logan didn't just dump his ass. Their relationship didn't make sense to Kendall at all. What made sense to Kendall was him and Logan. They were perfect for one another. He didn't understand why Logan kept dating James. He never said anything about it though. Logan gave Carlos and Kendall hugs right behind the girls.

"We are amazing," Carlos said

"What did you do? I scored the winning goal," Kendall teased the Latino.

"I was the goalie, without me they would've made their shots," Carlos said sticking his tongue out at Kendall. The girl giggled at their behavior.

The six of them sat around the truck talking for a bit before the alcohol found it's way out. They were all crashing in the barn tonight so no one would even know. The guys talked about the game and how tough the other team had been and how they had kicked the other teams ass. They had dominated the ice and were victorious.

Kendall couldn't help but look at Logan. He wanted to hold Logan and have him celebrate his win with him, but they weren't alone. Maybe later they'd be able to spend some time together once the others were sleeping. With James around Kendall knew better. He caught Carlos looking at him with a disapproving look and looked away. A small wave a guilt washed over him. James was supposed to be one of his best friends and here he was daydreaming about his boyfriend that he was fooling around with. Kendall felt like a bad friend.

-Perfect-

Camille sighed and looked through her closet. She had yet to find a suitable homecoming dress. Katie had found one when they went shopping the other day. It was a nice white one with a hot pink ribbon around the waits and matching pink straps. It had looked really nice on her and Camille had talked her into buying it. Camille on the other hand hadn't found anything that she liked. The homecoming dance was just a few hours away and she didn't have a dress. She was through her closet looking for something, anything that looked decent.

Her thoughts shifted to her grandmother's trunk in the attic. She hadn't really gone through the rest of the trunk since she had found the letters there, but she remembered seeing maybe a dress up there. It wouldn't hurt to check it out. She thought the trunk had been left here for her to find. Camille had asked her mother about the trunk and she hadn't even known it was up there. She agreed with Camille though that whatever was in the trunk was left for her since Cecelia had left her the key.

Camille made her way back up to the attic and over to the trunk. She kneeled down and opened it. She looked at the things that Cecelia had left for her. There were pictures and other odd trinkets Cecelia had left there. She spotted the dress and picked it up. It was a sundress and it was white with a blue floral print. Camille smiled as she stood up. It looked very pretty and almost looked like it would fit her. Camille walked over to the mirror in the attic and grabbed an old shirt from another box and cleaned it off of the cobwebs and dust. She grabbed the dress once more and held it up to herself with a smile.

Camille pulled her cell phone out and snapped a picture and sent it to Katie. She had found her dress. This was it, it was the prefect dress. Camille was very thankful that she had kept the key that Cecelia had given her and that she had stumbled upon the trunk when she did. Camille took the dress down to her bedroom. She'd have to show her mother later.

-Perfect-

Logan was sitting on the couch in James' living room while James was in the kitchen getting something to drink. Logan was thinking about the homecoming dance which was in a few hours after the pep rally.

Logan sighed as his thoughts turned to Kendall. Kendall was always on his mind lately. He couldn't help but think about the blonde no matter what he did. Kendall would pop into his mind when he was home reading, mainly because the blonde's bedroom window was right across from his and Logan could see him if he looked up from his book as he sat at his bed. He would also think about the blonde when he was out with James or Carlos. Kendall was always on his mind and things were starting to get out of hand. Logan wasn't sure what to do.

James returned with a can of soda in his hands. James hadn't indicated anything this week that he even wanted to go to homecoming. James sat down next to Logan and threw his arms over Logan's shoulder. Logan looked over at James.

"Do I look like a piece of furniture," Logan asked.

"No, you look more like a dessert," James said leaning in and kissing Logan on the lips. Logan rolled his eyes at the comment but moved his lips with James. Logan tensed up however when he felt James hand on his waist.

"James," Logan said pulling back to look at James.

"What?" James asked.

"I told you I'm not comfortable with that," Logan said looking down at James hand. James rolled his eyes and moved his hand away from Logan as he scooted away also. "Are we going to homecoming or not?" Logan asked bluntly. He finally wanted to know. It was a few hours away and James hadn't said anything about it.

"What?" James asked.

"Well you haven't said anything and I kind of want to go," Logan said losing his boldness. He looked down at his hands in his lap.

"Homecoming is lame, you can go if you want," James said shrugging. Logan just rolled his eyes. "You realize that it is tonight though?" he asked.

"I know that's why I asked, I thought you were jut assuming that since we're together that we're going, but I guess I was wrong," Logan said standing up and starting for the door.

"Oh don't get pissy," James said.

"I'm not pissy," Logan said looking back at James. "I understand that you don't want to go, but I do so maybe I'll just catch a ride with Kendall or Carlos," he said as he left the living room.

"Logan," James called after him.

Logan just kept walking until he was outside and down the driveway. He stopped and looked back at the house. He waited to see if James was coming after him. When he didn't come Logan started walking home. He pulled his cell phone out and hit his speed dial number 2. He then pressed the phone to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Kendall can you come get me, James is an ass," Logan said quickly.

"Sure thing Logie, where are you?" Kendall asked.

"I'm walking from his house," Logan said. This wasn't unusual for them. Whenever James pissed Logan off the first person he called was Kendall.

"I'll be there in like two minutes," Kendall said.

"Ok, hurry up it's starting to get cold," Logan said as the wind started to pick up.

"I'm out the door already and almost to my truck, I'll be there soon," Kendall said.

"Ok bye."

"Bye Logie."

Logan pocketed his phone and zipped his hoodie up more. He continued to walk along the sidewalk with his head down. He was pissed at James. He should've asked him sooner about homecoming, but he had just assumed James would go. Logan heard a truck pull up beside him. He looked over and saw Kendall looking at him with a brow arched. Logan walked around the truck and got in.

"What happened?" Kendall asked once Logan shut the door.

"James is an ass," Logan said as he buckled himself in. "He doesn't want to go to homecoming for some reason so I told him I'd go with you or Carlos," he said shrugging as Kendall started driving once more.

"He's not coming to homecoming? We won our game last night," Kendall said slowly.

"I know he's an idiot," Logan grumbled.

"I'll take you and we'll have fun together," Kendall said reaching over and grabbing Logan's hand. Logan laughed and nodded his head. The drive home was spent with them talking and laughing. Logan never let go of Kendall's hand until they got out of the truck. Logan headed over to his house.

"When are you leaving?" Logan asked.

"Well, Katie and Camille want to go to the pep rally and since it's my truck that gets Katie around, in about an hour," Kendall said.

"This is going be the best dressed pep rally ever," Logan said smiling at the blonde. Kendall laughed and shook his head at that.

"Well think about it, no one is going to want to going home after the rally to get changed and then come back to the school," Logan said.

"I know," Kendall said laughing.

"I'm gonna go get ready and I'll be over in a few minutes," Logan said. Kendall nodded his head and headed inside his own house. Logan ran inside his house and was stopped by his mother.

"I thought you'd be out tonight," Joanna said.

"I will be, Kendall and I are taking Katie and Camille to the homecoming dance," Logan said quickly as he started for the stairs.

"You've got a date with Katie?" Joanna asked almost sounding hopeful. She was always trying to get Logan a girlfriend. She had gone as far as setting him up with friends from work's daughters. Logan had gone on the dates to put her at ease, but never called them back. He only did it to please his mother and get her off his back.

"Katie? No way she's like a sister to me, and no I am not going with Camille either she's just a friend. If I wanted a girlfriend I'd get one mom," Logan said as he started up the stairs ignoring her protest of him going with Kendall and not getting a date.

-Perfect-

Kendall was standing off to the side of the dance floor. The music was blaring and people were off together dancing, if you could call it dancing. Most people were just grinding on one another. It looked like they were practically having sex with one another. Camille had pulled Katie and Logan out on to the dance floor with her. Kendall had seen Carlos dancing with Lucy earlier and even saw Stephanie eyeing him up. Kendall had no idea when she or Lucy had taken an interest in Carlos, but he was happy that Carlos was getting some attention.

Kendall spotted Logan with the girls and smiled. Logan looked like he was actually having fun. He had spent almost the whole pep rally complaining about James and how stupid he was being. Kendall was glad that he seemed to forget about James for the moment and was having fun with Camille and Katie. He deserved fun especially after the way James treated him sometimes. Logan looked up and caught his eye. Kendall smiled and Logan's grin grew.

"No date?"

Kendall turned his head and saw Jett standing next to him. He had his arms folded over his chest and was looking at the blonde expectantly.

"Nah, I'm stag," Kendall said grinning.

"Such a shame," Jett said.

"Yeah, I thought you of all people would be here with Zevon, I hear he's easy," Kendall said.

"He is and been there done that, I want a challenge," Jett said cockily.

"Well I've been told I'm challenging," Kendall smirked. He looked over at Logan once more and saw Logan wasn't even paying attention to him anymore.

"So I've heard," Jett said taking a step closer to the blonde. "So what's with you and that Mitchell boy?" he asked.

"Logan?" Kendall asked looking back out to the dance floor to his best friend. He still wasn't looking at him.

"Yeah," Jett said, "are you two like screwing around or something?" Jett asked.

"He's dating James," Kendall said quickly.

"That's not what I asked, " Jett said.

"No, I'm not attached to anyone," Kendall said glancing up to the brunette who was looking at him now.

"I'm not looking to be tied down, just for some fun," Jett said smirking.

"Me either, being tied down in high school only gets you hurt," Kendall said. It was what he had learned from his dad. His dad and his mother had been high school sweet hearts that had made a mistake of not using protection one night and he and Katie were the result. Kenneth manned up and married Jennifer and for years they were happy, but it didn't last.

"Smart," Jett said his smirk still in place.

"I never pegged you to be submissive Stetson," Kendall said looking Jett up and down and sizing him up.

"I prefer to think of it as being ambidextrous," Jett purred taking a step closer to Kendall. "What do you say we get out of here and have some real fun," Jett said.

"Can't, I've got to give my sister a ride home," Kendall said looking over to Katie, Camille, and Logan. Katie and Camille were oblivious to him and Jett, but Logan seemed to be looking right at them.

"We'll be back before the dance is over," Jett chuckled. He placed his hand on Kendall's arm.

Kendall glance over at the other three again and saw Logan still looking at him. He was more like glaring at the blonde daring him to go with Jett. Kendall looked at Jett as he took a step closer to him and whispered in his ear.

"Come on, this shouldn't be that hard of a decision," Jett said biting on the blonde's ear lobe. Blood rushed south as Jett flicked his ear with his tongue. Kendall wondered what else he could do with his tongue and nodded his head. He followed Jet out of the gym.

-Perfect-

Logan fell into a chair off to the side of the dance floor. Camille and Katie were off with some other friends laughing and having a good time. Logan was glad that Camille had managed to get Katie out of the house. Katie had been moping around a lot and it wasn't good. He didn't know what had brought the two back together, but he was glad they were talking once again. Kendall was nowhere to be seen. That was to be expected though. Logan had watched the blonde be dragging out of the gym by Jett Stetson.

Logan felt a surge of jealousy at the thought of Kendall and Jett. He didn't know why either. He had been actually trying to get Kendall to maybe go out with the brunette. Besides he wasn't even really dating Kendall. He was dating James. What he and Kendall had was nothing. It was just fooling around, nothing more.

"What's with the 'I'm constipated' look."

Logan turned to glare at Kendall as he sat down next to him. Kendall's shirt was wrinkled a bit and his hair was messed up. He had definitely done something with Jett.

"I though we were here for the dance and to have fun," Logan said.

"I did have fun," Kendall said wiggling his eyebrows.

"You know what I meant," Logan said rolling his eyes.

"This is lame, I mean there's only one reason to come to dances and you don't want to do that because you're afraid someone will go running to James," Kendall scoffed.

"You think you're so witty," Logan sighed.

"Come on, weren't you telling me I needed to start dating someone," Kendall asked annoyed.

"Well…I-uh," Logan stammered.

"Exactly, you have no right to be mad. I'm not your boyfriend," Kendall said standing up and walking away. Logan sat there confused about what had just happened.

-Perfect-

Carlos fell into a chair in his kitchen exhausted. This night had been long. He had gone to the dance with Lucy, but Stephanie seemed to have made it her mission to but in. She had gotten a few dances out of the Latino much to Lucy's dismay. Carlos wasn't sure when they both got interested in him, but he wasn't discouraging them either.

"Mijo."

Carlos looked up and saw his mother standing in the doorway. She seemed to have just gotten out of bed.

"Did I wake you?" Carlos asked.

"Yeah, how was the dance," Sylvia asked him.

"Like a dance, it was ok," Carlos said shrugging. He stood up and brushed past her and made his way up to his bedroom. He wasn't really in the mood to talk to her. She hardly paid attention to him normally, so why now?

Carlos walked into his bedroom and sat down at his computer to check his email and messenger. He saw he had a message from CrazyBeotch18. He opened the message and was shocked.

CrazyBeotch18: You clean up nicely. You looked good tonight.

Carlos looked at the message before closing it out. He shut his computer down and sat there staring at it. Never once had he thought that CrazyBeotch18 was someone from his school and knew who he was. He had been fine when it was a stranger. When it was a stranger that he would never really meet it was fine. He had never shared his real name or a picture with her. It was anonymous. Now that she was real it was different. This crossed his boundaries and he was uncomfortable.

-Perfect-

Logan made his way inside and up to his room. Most of the night he had been at ends with Kendall. Ever since their fight he hadn't really talked to the blonde. He didn't know why he was so mad about Kendall hooking up with Jett.

Logan walked into his room and started to get ready for bed. There was a knock at his door. Logan sighed and shook his head. That had to be his mother wondering if he had danced with any girls. Logan told her he was getting ready for bed. He didn't want to talk to her right now.

"I just want to know how things went," Joanna said.

"I'm tired mom, I'll talk to you later," Logan said. Joanna conceded and left him alone. Logan sighed and walked over to his open window and sat down on the windowsill. He let out and breath and just sat there. He wasn't sure what to think of the dance. It had been fun for the most part, the only thing Logan didn't like was the fight with Kendall.

"Psst."

Logan looked over his shoulder and saw Kendall standing at his bedroom window. Logan turned and looked at Kendall as he sat there.

"What?" Logan asked quietly.

"I'm sorry," Kendall said.

"For what, you did nothing wrong," Logan said.

"I did too, I was a jerk and I shouldn't have treated you like that," Kendall said sincerely.

"Yeah, well you were right we're not really dating," Logan said.

"Did we just have our first fight?" Kendall asked suddenly.

Logan stopped to think about and smiled. He nodded his head. Kendall was right, this was their first fight since they had started, whatever they had going. "Yeah I think we did," he said slowly.

"So do we make up now?" Kendall asked grinning.

"Yeah, I think so," Logan said. Kendall grinned. He climbed out his window and onto the side of his house like he used to do when he was little. "Kendall what are you doing, you're nuts," he said as the blonde expertly climbed up the tree beside his house. It was something he had done hundreds of times. Logan shook his head as he moved away from the window and Kendall climbed in. "You're nuts," Logan hissed knowing his mother might still be awake.

"Hey, you knew that when you agreed to be my friend," Kendall whispered. Logan smiled and shook his head. Kendall took a step closer to the brunette. Logan smiled as their lips touched. He sighed into the kiss. This was what he had been waiting for all night. "Is your mom awake?" he asked.

"Yeah, she wanted to talk to me about the dance but I told her I was tired," Logan said moving over to his bed. He sat down and Kendall sat down next to him.

"You could always tell her the truth," Kendall suggested.

"Kendall we've been over this," Logan sighed.

"I know, it's just a suggestion," Kendall said. Logan walked over to his bed and sat down. Kendall sat down next to him. "I'm sorry, but I'm pushy and you know that. I don't mean to, but you know at some point you're going to have to tell her," he said.

"Yeah, once I'm eighteen and moved out," Logan said, "that way she won't be able to kick me out or send me to some straight camp and try and make me straight," he said his lower lip quivering.

"Logie," Kendall said moving closer to the brunette and wrapping his arms around him. He pulled Logan to him and held him. Logan pressed his face into Kendall's shoulder and let a few tears fall.

So yeah that just happened. It's been awhile since I updated this adn for that I spologize. I've just been on a roll with other fics adn this was ppushed on the back burner. I am working on it once more and I've got several more ideas I have yet to lay down and more to go. I know a lot of you aren't liking James right now, but he's got reasons for acting the way he does. There will be more to come.

Always
